About Wills Jacobsen Legal

We are a niche rural legal firm based just outside of Huntingdon. We specialise in Wills, Probate, Trusts, Capacity Issues and Asset & Wealth Protection.

Our Wills and Probate Partner is a CILEx Probate Practitioner and a member of Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) having been awarded the Older Client Care in Practice qualification. SFE members are experienced in, and specialise in, a wide range of legal issues affecting older and vulnerable people. To be a member of SFE a lawyer must have spent a substantial amount of their time working for older and vulnerable clients and must also fulfill the SFE’s own criteria for membership.

We deal with small straightforward matters and complex estates that have a range of issues to address.

We have significant experience in helping clients structure their Wills to save assets from care fees assessment, and/or minimise their Inheritance tax bill. As an example if you jointly own a property worth £200,000 we can save you £100,000 in care fees by structuring your Will accordingly.

We can offer solutions to people wanting to plan for their future and ensure there is paperwork in place so that in the event of their illness or incapacity their affairs can continue to be managed.

Wills Jacobsen Legal Q&A

What do you love most about your job?

I feel like I have done a great job when clients tell me that they feel better for getting things sorted. I love helping people and if I can save their estates money to pass onto their loved ones, then I know I have done a good job.
I particularly like supporting clients after the death of a loved one. I like sorting out the paperwork and making a very difficult time a little bit easier for someone.
I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people and this desire is at the forefront of all of my work.

What inspired you to start your own business?

After the death of my father I was disillusioned with the legal advice and service that I received. I felt there was a better way to deal with things, so I decided to put that into practice by setting up Wills Jacobsen. Before I set up Wills Jacobsen I was a partner at a firm in Greater London. I have been a lawyer for 16 years and still very much enjoy my job.
